    This may sound a bit mad, but theres a brilliant offer on with Waitrose for shopping (if you haven't had an online order)

    1st shop - £30 off £100 + free delievery
    2nd - £20 off £100 (not sure on delievery - only done my 1st so far)
    3rd, 4th, 5th - £10 off £100

    If you go thou topcashback theres £5 cashback,

    I will be honest and say I found some things dearer on there, but with branded items - they match Tesco xx

    Hi guys I'm thinking about making the chocolate spoons for a got chocolate hamper. Iv found the moulds, but my question is how long will it last as I will have to melt the chocolate and wrap in cellophane? Will the out of date be how long it will last, or before that because iv unwrapped it and melted it? Thanks

    For anyone looking for a hamper basket, tk maxx have some lovely sturdy fabric ones in stock. They had a few different sizes and styles from £3.99 up to £9.99. I will try and put a picture up of the one I bought :xmastree::xmastree:

  • Hello all

    Just wanted to remind everyone of the following site for sourcing hampers, kits etc

    http://www.candigifts.co.uk/

    I've used them for the last couple of years and the products & service is usually excellent. No minimum order but the P&P is quite pricey at £3.99 for 'small orders' so probably only any good if you're ordering several items (I've never found out what a 'large order' is yet).
    £2 Savers Club 2016 #21 £14/£250
    £2 Savers Club 2015 #8 £250£200 :j

    Has anyone seen any cheap Christmas Mugs around yet? I love a Christmas Mug in a Hamper :)

    Tesco have some for £1.50 in their 'pudding town' range, 2 different Santa design, singing robins and a squirrel one. Can't find them on their website but they had them in my superstore in Thursday, they look more expensive than they cost, HTH :xmassmile

    Hi all :)

    I've just finished my first hamper and thought I would share it with you all.

    This one is for my Brother and his wife. It's a night at the movies/American sweets box.

    Total cost came to just under £18 which I'm happy with. I know I'd be thrilled if I received this as a gift so I do hope they'll like it.

    I got all the wrappings (bow, paper, bag) from Ebay. If anyone needs links to the products let me know. The American sweets are from B&M bargains.
